If it's not been done before, one to oppose the other thread... Obviously a platform to argue about what fast and slow is too!

I'll start with the 205 XS:



Doesn't look a whole lot different to a 1.2, but could crack 60 in 9 and a bit seconds, and on the road was pretty much neck and neck with the 1.6 GTi.

I'm not saying it's a fast car, but 0-60mph is quicker than the majority of hatchbacks from 5 years ago, and quick for a 1.4 85bhp car - to me that's something that's quicker than it looks.

Off you go! No doubt this thread will be full of diesel saloons by the end!!
